A long overdue update. The Ops Room

Hello. 

Im still alive.....

Its been a long time since i updated the blog, mainly because i havent had a computer.....but also because im a bit lazy.

Anyway, i thought id do a bit of an update on whats going on here at little legions towers.

So, last summer, I decided it was time to build a gaming shed. Lots of digging of foundations ensued, my enthusiasm waned somewhat when we realised we were digging through the old Quarry road......

But we cracked on. My two sons helping and my brother directing our efforts, we eventually dug out the foundations.

once the foundations were dug, we filled the hole with gravel and sand, and compacted it with a

 whacker plate. 

Lots of timber, and the shed starts to take shape.  Layers of kingspan insulation are laid under the floor, before the concrete was poured in.

Starting to look like something!

Internally, cables were plumbed in for the electrics, and the insulation started to go into the walls and ceiling. A thick layer of kingspan, covered over with the yellow itchy stuff, which apparently helps to reduce the noise from rain etc.

Window and doors, and the roof is finished. (less guttering)

More cables and insulation....

once the cables and insulation were in place, the whole of the interior was covered in Thermowrap, the silver insulation rolls in the picture above.

Internal lighting and plasterboard, a very messy part of the whole build.

Meanwhile, ouside the soakaway was dug with channels for the drainage pipes from the gutter.

We had an idea to use bottles for some of the windows.... this involved cutting bottles in half, then taping them together forming glass "bricks".

Pretty cool.

Outside, with the drainage now in, and the gutters connected to the drainage pipes.

Internal stuff

The floor is laminate from B&Q and after an expensive trip to Ikea, I had some furniture.

These are Kallax storage cubes.

The desk is homemade from an old gaming table.

Now, with the Ops room complete, I dont know how I ever fit all my stuff into the tiny room I had in the house.

For a better look, heres a link to my youtube channel.

I hope you are all well, bye for now.
